Steinberg Cubase 11, (Nuendo still testing) , Waves 12 and Reason Studios now report compatibility with Big Sur so I finally took the plunge.
I say finally because I m expecting to finally see what the MBP 8 core i9 with 16 GB can really do, having experienced sloth like performance under Catalina coupled with the kind of reliability normally attributable to early cheap Chinese electronics peddled in the dollar shops at MBK Bangkok.
I have to say early results look encouraging. 10 seconds or so to boot (3 minutes was the worst I got with Catalina) and the kind of slick sheen I ve seen with Big Sur on the small thin air.

The minimalist riverside retreat offers a more relaxed approach when it comes to seeing two day-trip destinations from the Thai capital.

If you’re planning to balance a city break in Bangkok with some downtime in the fertile hinterlands north of town, Sala Bang Pa-in may be just the ticket. Perched at the tip of an island in the Chao Phraya River not far from Bang Pa-in Palace, a onetime summer retreat for the Thai royal family, the hotel is also an ideal base for exploring the UNESCO-listed ruins of Ayutthaya’s old city, just 20 kilometers upstream.

8 Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahavihan is built in classic Chinese and Thai architecture, which was popular during the reign of King Rama III.
The seated Buddha image of Phra Buddha Trai Rattananayok, also known as Phra To or Luang Pho To, is majestic. The statue is housed in a vihara (prayer hall) at Wat Kanlayanamit in Thon Buri on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.
Thai Island Living: Just Another Day in Paradise
As I run along a narrow concrete road cutting through shady rubber plantations, I emerge to a view that always makes me smile. On my left flourishes dense jungle thicket. On my right a clearing of grasses is flanked by towering stands of bamboo and lofty coconut palms bordering a sandy beach. Between the trees a solitary limestone karst island rises abruptly out of the cerulean waters, jutting against the skyline.
As this view greets me, a monkey races across in front of me, disappearing into the jungle. I startle lithe squirrels in the treetops and large prehistoric-looking monitor lizards that hastily scuttle away into the tangle of undergrowth. One day I almost ran into a slender green snake in the middle of the road. Alerted by its rearing head I took a few steps back while it slithered away into the greenery.
